Needing help ID'ing and valuing these 2 guns...
 

Well actually it is just one gun, fashioned from 2.
I just picked this one up (hadn't bought a Luger in weeks and was getting crabby). Here is what I am seieng:
The entire upper is matching Erfurt, 1913 dated, no artillery sight cut-out. number 1509. No suffix noted, condition is excellent with some bluing wear on the side plate and equally on both sides of the muzzle. Bore is good, but not as nice as the exterior. Very little scratching on the bottom of the bolt carrier. All numbers match and the straw on the ejecter is very nice.
Now the lower is the older style P08 with no stock lug and no cut-out for the hold open. 6556 c (or lazy L), with all numbers matching, including the excellent #56 grips. MAgazine is correct wood bottom with no numbers and some wear on the wood sides. WRS 216 stamped on the front grip strap, very little bluing loss is noted excepting the front tips of the frame rails, and the inside looks about like new. Straw is very good with some signs of fire bluing in places like the top of the trigger.
It's a crying shame that these 2 got mixed together, but so be it. I will probably put it on the market in the next few weeks or months and need to know approx. value. I can't quite bring myself toadmit it is a low buck shooter, but understand the hit for being mismatched, albiet rare halves.
Your coments are welcome.

A very nice looking shooter, I to am sorry it is MM, but never the less nice looking gun....

I've seen MM's like this sell for $800 on GB...Shoot; who am I fooling??? I *bought* an MM like that for $749 on GB back in January... ;)

Learn something new everyday : "MM"

BB says something like "today's Luger collectors care nothing unless it's original". In similar way, "today's class III collectors care nothing unless it's registered" (mine, BB did not say so). Shooting is fun though. "BB": Blue Book of Gun Values.

It's a pretty gun, so maybe it is also a Mmmm!

Personally, I have no idea what the hell a MM is...


It might have older, nicer parts, but I think $600-$800 (and $800 is a max I would be hard pressed to get at a gun show)...

Hey Ed, think outside the box. MM=mismatched!:)

It's a damn nice mix of some very interesting parts.

So what is WRS216?
